An ancient etched carnelian bead — dating to the first cities of Mesopotamia — forms the centrepiece of this necklace. In early civilisations, master craftsmen acid-etched intricate motifs into carnelian before shaping the stones into beads reserved for nobility and ceremonial adornment.

Here, the pendant is suspended among rare, finely aged turquoise, interspersed with carnelian and delicate seed pearls, and unified with our signature hand-wrought 22k gold detailing. A composition that honours the artistry of antiquity while reinterpreting it as a refined modern heirloom.
